MEDIATHEK

Frits Vogels ist ein niederländischer Theater- und Filmemacher; aus dem Projekt 'Grif' (1975) mit der Theaterschule Amsterdam entstand die Gruppe Griftheater, die er bis zur Auflösung 2002 künstlerisch leitete. Unter anderem arbeitete er seither mit der Gruppe BEWTH. (dS) Director / mimographer of space and co-creators based movement theatre which takes place in preference on locations not specified for theatre. So, site specific theatre. All the work of Vogels starts with a space concept. Many ways are possible: space seen from the body or seen from the space itself as a whole with actors and audience in it. But also notions like territory, direction, distance, height, depth, remote perspective, - and further notions according to space – can play a role, apart or in combination. Another characteristic is the fact that he never works from or towards a narrative structure. Images, scenes, and movement sequences are arranged in a associative way. When in spite of this a story arises is that also the story of the working process. After the site specific performances in non-theatrical buildings came the fascination for space without walls and roof: the landscape.
